Implementación de un sistema de control eléctrico móvil con conexión a los módulos del laboratorio de tribología de la Facultad de Mecánica

Abstract

The Tribology Laboratory of the Industrial Maintenance Career had no electrical control system connected to the modules. Therefore, the Curricular Integration Work was presented to implement a mobile electrical control system to ensure the correct functioning of the electrical connections to the different modules and equipment. This system would work in two modes: manual using pushbuttons and automatic using a programmable logic module with a touch screen. The user-centered methodology, which consists of four phases, was used. In the analysis phase, each module and equipment was identified. In the information collection phase, a total load study was conducted to determine the electrical system's switching, protection, and power elements. Electrical and mechanical design was performed using software during the primary phase. Finally, the design was evaluated for efficiency, effectiveness, and user satisfaction. Functional tests were carried out on the mobile electrical control system to verify that the electrical connection coincides with the diagrams made. The power supply is three-phase to the electrical panel, from which the different connections are distributed to 220 V two-phase and 110 V single-phase. In conclusion, it was possible to implement a mobile electrical control system that works adequately for laboratory practices and correct data collection.
